## How to tell the topic was saved
The syllabus is saved only when you are online; it cannot be kept on the device and sent later.
| State | How to tell | What next |
| ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------- |
| **Changed on screen only** | The **Add topic** window is open and the fields are filled in | Press **Save** |
| **Reached the school's system** | The window is closed, the topic is in the list, the progress count went up | Done |
**If the window does not close:** it shows **Something went wrong. Please try again.** See [Problems and fixes](#trouble).

## Other situations
### Reorder, change the status of, or delete a topic
* **To change the order:** press the **Up** or **Down** arrow on the row. The topic moves one place. If it does not, you see **Couldn't reorder topics. Try again.**
* **To change the status or name:** press **Edit**, change it in the **Edit topic** window, and press **Save**.
* **To delete:** press **Delete**. The app asks **Delete "{name}"? This can't be undone.** Press **Delete** again and it is gone.
| You press | What happens | Can it be undone? |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| **Up** / **Down** | Swaps place with the neighbouring topic | Yes, press the opposite arrow |
| **Save** | Changes the name, description or status | Yes, edit it again |
| **Delete** | The topic is deleted | No |
If study plans exist, small text under the topic shows in how many sections it has been taught, for example **Taught in 2 of 4 sections**.
### Study plans: which section is behind
Press the **Study plans** tab. At the top it says, for example, **First term · 18 study plans, 3 behind**.
| Column | What it shows |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Section** | Class and section |
| **Subject** | The plan's subject |
| **Term** | Which term the plan is for, or **Whole year** |
| **Progress** | How many lessons are done, for example **7/20 lessons** |
| **Behind** | **On track**, or for example **3 periods behind (≈2 lessons)** |
| **Status reporting** | When periods were last reported: **Today**, **Yesterday**, or for example **3 days not reported** |
Filter with **Search** (section or subject name), **Class**, **Subject** and **Term** at the top. Tick **Behind only** to see only plans that are behind. An admin and an academic coordinator can pick a class and a term and press **Progress CSV** to download the progress as a file; if no class or term is picked, the button does not work.
When a lesson counts as "done": the teacher reports whether they taught in a period of their routine. If a teacher is on leave and there is no substitute, or a period is cancelled, the app records that period itself as "not taught". If a period is not reported, the teacher is reminded, and if it is very late the academic coordinator and the admin are told. How often and when depends on the school's settings; this has not been run in the app.
### Make a new study plan
There is only one plan for each subject of each section in each term.
1. On the **Study plans** tab, press **New study plan** at the top.
→ **New study plan** opens, with the steps at the top: **Section · subject · term**, **How to start**, **Preview**, **Save**.
2. Pick the **Class**, **Section**, **Subject** and **Term** (if there are no terms, **Whole year**). Press **Next**.
→ If some lessons of this section-subject were left over from the last term, the app asks, for example **Add the 4 lessons left from last term?** If you say yes, they go at the start of the new plan.
3. Pick **Where do the lessons come from?**:
* **Start empty** — you will write the lessons one by one later.
* **From the library** — copy a school template and change it your way.
* **From a CSV file** — upload a file written in Excel. To get a sample of the columns, press **Download a sample**. There are four columns: `title`, `periods`, `topic`, `notes`.
4. In the **Preview**, tick **Keep** for the lessons you want to keep. If there are many lessons, a line tells you about how many periods the term has and how many the lessons need.
5. Press **Save plan**.
→ The plan is created, and its page opens directly.
